10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then

open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.

CAUTION:

Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system. 

11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the reservoir cap.

13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system

and top up the system as necessary before installing the reservoir cap.

FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM

1.

Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to 

CO-10, "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT"

 .

2.

Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX” line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave
the vented reservoir cap off.

3.

Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

4.

Press the engine accelerator two or three times under no-load.

5.

Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.

6.

Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to 

CO-10, "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT"

 .

7.

Repeat steps 2 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator.

WARNING:

Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to
release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.

REMOVAL

1.

Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to 

EM-13, "Removal and Installation"

 .

2.

Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to 

CO-9, "ENGINE COOLANT"

 .

CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.

3.

Remove air duct and air cleaner case assembly. Refer to 

EM-16, "Removal and Installation"

 .

4.

Remove reservoir tank hose.

5.

Removal radiator hoses (upper and lower) and reservoir tank hose.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.

6.

Remove radiator cooling fan assembly. Refer to 

CO-17, "ENGINE COOLING FAN"

 .

7.

Disconnect A/T fluid cooler hoses.

Install blind plug to avoid leakage of A/T fluid.

8.

Remove the upper mount bracket bolts.

9.

Remove the two A/C condenser bolts.

10. Remove radiator as follows:

CAUTION:

Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser and radiator core when removing.

a.

With lifting and pulling radiator in a rear direction, disassemble
lower mount from radiator core support center.

CAUTION:

Because A/C condenser is onto the front-lower portion of
radiator, moving to rear direction should be at minimum.

b.

Lift A/C condenser up and remove radiator after disengaging the
fitting as front-bottom surface.

CAUTION:

Lifting A/C condenser should be minimum to prevent a load
to A/C piping.

c.

After removing radiator, put A/C condenser on radiator core sup-
port center to prevent a load to A/C piping, and temporarily fix it
with rope or similar means.
